Here is mine. It is half concept as I didn't want my claws shooting stuff but instead my eyeballs. So I skipped focus and shockwave, which is pretty blasphemous really. But it is indeed a buzz saw. Generally runs Focus, swipe, slash, swipe. Then repeat. They all fire super fast. As little recharge actually in focus as possible so the crit chance fires as much as possible. Can easily switch a few things around for the more optimal attacks. I really do like the new animation option for energy torrent. He almost never dies, never runs out of end, and kills quickly. Admittedly would be better with focus and shockwave, but it is super fun. I have a claws/rad scrapper that shoots stuff from his claws because of radiation I guess??? I may reroll and try ice mastery instead, but having panacea proc and two power transfer chance to heals keeps whatever minimal health you might lose topped off. As long as you get melee/ranged/aoe to 45 or more and DDR to 95% it's kinda hard to mess up the rest with SR. I kinda aim for a bit higher so that if a couple debuffs do get through, you're still at the softcap anyway. Super Heat - Scrapper (Claws - Super Reflexes).mbd

I much prefer SR. I do a lot of ITFs where defense debuff is real. I have one nin scrap i love. I never even needed the end click so skipped it. I rarely use the confuse on my blaster. Scrap skipped it. The heal does come in handy though. And stacking it is good for pylons on apex.

I’d go brute. The cone heal I didn’t care for as much as the aoe one.

Mine is MA. It’s a lot of fun. I’m partial to MA too though. DB would be fun. I just made a regen/db tank. I love the db part. Weaken combo does -to hit which is cool. Its been fun playing db and not worrying about too dps like I do on my scrapper.

I hate being held/mezzed. I’ve found the best way not to get held is to dodge the hold altogether. And the blaster set in one of the first attacks helps. And this guy is 100% ranged so was easy that way. I mostly play scrappers and tanks anyway so don’t feel the need to make a blapper. That is what my PB is for really.

Here is mine. It's a Rambo rip-off, I mean homage. So went for the high ranged defense since like no bullets ever hit him. I will likely switch back to body armor and LRM next time I do it. Thraxo - Blaster (Assault Rifle - Tactical Arrow) 06 04 2025.mbd

I was, of course, just kidding. Can’t get a refund for a free game.

I swear if they nerf scrappers im gonna demand a refund.

Enhancements in the aura enhance the mag not duration like most stuff. I tried procs while leveling and before respec. Hard to tell if did much. Could see lockdown mag +2. But would have to check combat logs probably for the confuse proc I tried. the defense difference was my fault. Kids was counting storm kick where in game doesn’t until you hit something, of course.

Energy/inv sentinel

I forgot to hit something with Storm Kick. It is fine. In case anyone cares, build is super solid.

Here is my scrapper one. CoulCromathraxium - Scrapper (Spines - Stone Armor).mbdd probably be switched fairly easy.

Defense is lower than in mids too. Did half an ITF and he played super solid though. So that's good.

Built in game. For some reason my smashing resist ist over 90 and the letal is 85. Which is fine. Unsure what is going on really. Know mids has s/l equal when they aren't, but unsure why both high. I haven't made barrier yet.

I don’t really know yet. Being runnning MJ on 53 teaming. Stuff dies too quick to matter. I also put the lockdown chance for more hold. I’ll run some more today. The random thrown together build I have now while leveling is good too so not a huge rush to respec I guess.

Also, anyone tried the Contagious Confusion proc in Auro of Insanity? Seems like its low odds being confuse, but when it is it would spread? I'm gonna try it until I respec anyway.

Regen might be better with the resist to -regen it has now. Maybe though. My only 50 brute, until today, was staff/wp. Only thing that ever killed him was huge -regen debuff. Staff helped some with the +def attack though. WP was for sure better before. Like hands down no argument better. Maybe close now? I tried a tank with regen but deleted. Wasn't regen's fault I just didn't like the pairing I chose with it. Made a brute instead that is MA/PSI and it is a lot of fun. The regen on it gets crazy high, speaking of regen. Haven't respec'd or played since I just hit 50. Stupid yard work. Aura of insanity is crazy good. Can't wait to get the hamis in it. Want to run an all PSI armor ITF and see how nuts it goes.

Please see build. Let me know what ya think. Hit 50 today! Wasn't really going for defense but kinda fell backwards into decent melee defense. S/L/P resists are at 85% so will be 90 with barrier that I plan on taking. I'm gonna make it pink to fit with world of confusion. He has been really solid leveling up. Hasten is 12 seconds from perma. This isn't counting the FF proc in dragon's tail. I imagine it will be close to perma or maybe 5 seconds off??? I usually aim for 5-7 at most down time and think this will get it there. Kilty Pleasures - Brute (Martial Arts - Psionic Armor).mbd

Got me. I did MA but mostly just cause I like MA and don’t have it on a brute. Dark stacking fear might be ok but the t9 power isn’t up that often. Guess any stun/hold/etc stacks with tha aura randomly. Ice melee might be pretty good to stack -recharge

I'm liking it much more on a brute than scrapper. The cone on consume psyche was annoying. And imposing presence just seems WAAAAAAAY better than mask presence.

Looks crazy good. I have a psi melee tank. I love the animations while hovering. Much more animated I feel. While standing just seems like your whole torso down barely even moves. Just me though. I tried the PSI pet and didnt' like it. Seemed like a lazy lil f'er.

Awesome news.

Just played some today. The GIANT RED POP UP MESSAGE is already super annoying. Like do I really need to know only first target affected, twice? Seems like it's always twice. And do other players need to see it? Just a nuisance really. Set plays fun though.

Maybe just letting others know they can save themselves three powers.
